A large format carton (70cm x 50cm) for Absinthe Edouard Pernod, showing two climbers pausing to prepare an absinthe on the slopes of the Matterhorn!
The fact that the brand label is not shown explicitly indicates that this was probably an existing painting, co-opted for use in this carton, but the whereabouts of the original, and the name of the artist are not known. Although Edouard Pernod was a large company, this carton must have been produced only in small quantities for a limited period, as this seems to be the sole surviving example.
Dear Miriam,
In a twinckle of an eye, seems to see a bear on the Matterhorn.
You don’t ?… Sure ?… Please have a look on :

Happy day and year….
By the way, I’m afraid Solden is in wild south Germany and this summer I’ve to go straight North from Normandy to visit Berlin. Probably back home by Düsseldorf…
But who knows?
Best regards !
